Southampton were beaten 1-0 by Sparta Prague at the Generali Arena in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. A first-half goal from defender Costa was all it took to down a Southampton side lacking in creativity and quality in attack.
The result means the Saints will have to beat or at least draw 0-0 at home against Hapoel Be'er Sheva at St. Mary's Stadium in their final Group K match to qualify.
Hapoel came back from two down to shock Inter Milan 3-2 at the Turner Stadium. It means Inter are out of the competition after setting an unwanted first in club history, according to Squawka Football:
Inter Milan have failed to qualify for the Europa League knockout stages for the first time in their history.
